ON GOLDEN POND

I still don’t actually like living here and I am casting visions of what I would like and accepting this as a waiting time.

“IF YOU FEEL LOST, DISAPPOINTED, HESITANT, OR WEAK, RETURN TO YOURSELF, TO WHO YOU ARE, HERE AND NOW AND WHEN YOU GET THERE, YOU WILL DISCOVER YOURSELF, LIKE A LOTUS FLOWER IN FULL BLOOM, EVEN IN A MUDDY POND, BEAUTIFUL AND STRONG.”

MASARU EMOTO, SECRET LIFE OF WATER.

“Called the Never-Never, the Maluka loved to say, because they who have lived in it and loved it, Never-Never voluntarily leave it… Others, the unfitted, will tell you that it is so called because they who succeed in getting out or it swear they will Never-Never return to it. But we who have lived it, and loved it, and left it, know that our hearts can Never-Never rest away from it.”
